Saying that"the path has narrowed to a close," former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor"At this point in the race, the best way to keep faith with those goals and ideals is to step aside and help bring our party and our country together," Buttigieg told supporters is his hometown of South Bend."So tonight I am making the difficult decision to suspend my campaign for the presidency.
Buttigieg, who was once a long-shot in a crowded field of candidates, became a household name during the Democratic primary and would eventually go one to fare well in the Iowa caucuses and New Hampshire primary before his momentum was slowed during contests in the more diverse states of Nevada and South Carolina.
He’d begin his town halls asking voters to visualize the day the sun comes up over America and Trump was no longer president. Buttigieg, as the first major openly gay candidate to mount a significant run for president, campaigned alongside his husband, Chasten, who developed his own fan base along the way. In one of Buttigeig’s most powerful moments, he also became the first person from the LGBTQ community to talk openly on a presidential debate stage about his coming out.

Vote Bernie Sanders for all of us to win
Aren't ALL Presidents democratic? Or perhaps he meant Democrat? obamaspeak

'step aside & help bring our party & our country together,'. He's in denial if he thinks his way to bring this country together is to attack the front runner. It didn't work when he was in the race & it won't work now. He's done. This isn't the first political office he has lost.
Sad huge loss -think he is much better candidate than Biden
Haha what a joke!
Does anyone listen to him and realize he is just air mailing buzz words and feel good thoughts. Nothing concrete from this career politician ever
Not happening! .
We all have to do that!
Good news for Biden but maybe too late. W/ early & absentee voting rising in popularity literally hundreds of ballots across the nation have votes for Pete on 'em. If Pete endorses Joe on Monday it could help. I think Ambassador to Greece is available.
Smart dude
We all know Pete is NOT 4 BernieSanders he did not want a Socialist Revolution, he was 4 bringing ppl 2gether, he was 4 democracy!
Hey DNC PeteButtigieg needs to be at the convention. He’s the future of the party!

Fat chance Trump2020LandslideVictory
I know he'll do wonderful things in the future. He has so much to give!
Negotiating a VP spot.
Big paycheck
I thought I couldn’t dislike the fella more, and then he formalized “less than” in our national record
He was a bad example of someone who tried to do all the things needed so they can go into politics. He was manufactured and rehearsed.
It’s nice to hear positivity in politics.
Thank you Mayor Pete. It’s clear you put country before political gain. ♥️
